Southampton have already sold several players this summer, including Nathan Tella , James Ward -Prowse and Romeo Lavia , but Armel Bella -Kotchap was one of their players the St Mary's outfit hoped to keep hold of for a year in the Championship. That being said, Bella-Kotchap has his heart set on a return to his home country, and will do everything in his power to force through a move before the transfer deadline this week.

Dortmund have been impressed with the exciting defender's displays since his move to England, and are confident that a deal will be signed and sealed, as the player is likely to become a mainstay of the club's central defence for many years to come.
